Helios Media, the dedicated podcast hub of Radio America, is adding The Morse Report with Matt Morse to its podcast roster.
What We Know: The Morse Report is a daily live stream helmed by Matt Morse. Its video version has expanded greatly in recent months. Morse has just shy of 1 million YouTube subscribers. It has also tallied nearly 200 million video views on the platform.
What They Said: “Matt has built a loyal and highly engaged audience through his independent, insightful commentary on the news and cultural issues shaping America. His authentic voice and growing influence have made him one of the most promising rising stars in independent media.” -Helios Media President/CEO Mike Paradiso
“As one of the fastest-growing programs in conservative media, I’m excited to join forces with Helios Media to accelerate our growth across podcasting, video, and social platforms while continuing to build The Morse Report community. Their expertise in content distribution, audience development, and monetization makes them an ideal partner for the next phase of our growth.” -Matt Morse
What Remains Unclear: Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
What It Means: Helios Media continues to expand its podcast roster with the addition of Morse. Radio America already has a strong base in the conservative space with the likes of Dana Loesch and Chad Benson. It’s now beefing up the digital side with an already established show like Morse’s.
